Chapter 69: 9.6 Years!
At this moment, it was 3.7 light-years away from the Gliese 581 star system, and Ruan Lin hummed a little song happily in the main control room, and the journey was extremely safe, and he even sent some of his knowledge to the wit.
"Dr. Ruan, when I checked the information, I found that in 2007, after the discovery of Gliese 581c, the British bookmaker, William Hill, quickly lowered the odds of whether there is a creature in outer space from 1 to 1000 to 100, because in case there is an outer space creature, they will have to pay more than 10 million pounds."
Ruan Lin laughed and said: "Haha, this may be the best joke in the Earth Era, if this company still exists now, I'm afraid there will be no pants left long ago!" β
Ruan Lin also began to operate the Hubble telescope to observe the Gliese 581 star system, which has a comet ring similar to the outer layer of the Oort cloud at a distance of 36 AU from the main star.
Ruan Lin immediately ordered: "Wit, when you are about to arrive at the comet ring, you and I will each control half of the ship!" β
Because the number of ships is not what it used to be, Nguyen Lin's computing power is becoming more and more difficult, and if he controls the entire fleet alone, this will take up 65% of his computing power.
"It's really strange, they're a level 0.8 civilization, and they supposedly can observe our entire fleet right now, and they're waiting for our information?" Ruan Lin was surprised by this.
He then ordered: "WIT, carry out the observation of this star system, and report the overall data." β
The WIT soon began to report: "Gliese 581 has a total of 5 planets, and the estimated Gliese 581f of the age of Earth does not exist. Gliese 581b is a Jupiter-like planet, and the other planets are terrestrial planets, and all have liquid water. β
"According to observations, Gliese 581c, g, and d are all colonized planets of this civilization."
Ruan Lin sighed: "It's really eye-catching!" There are 3 terrestrial planets in a star system, and all of them have liquid water! β
Gliese C is the world's first terrestrial planet that may be suitable for human habitation, while Gliese D, known as "SuperEarth", is a potential space migration option for humans during the Earth era.
Ruan Lin put his mind at ease for the time being, the home star of the high-beam civilization, like Proxima b, was permanently tidally locked by the parent star.
Ruan Lin speculated that they had just set foot on their home planet and began to colonize nearby planets.
Their home planet is simply the difference between hell and heaven compared to the planets around them.
At a distance of 0.2 light-years from the Gliese 581 star system, WIT suddenly reported: "In the geostationary orbits of the three planets colonized by the high-beam civilization, there are countless man-made fragments, which are preliminarily judged to be man-made probes." β
"There is a strange bright light in the area of the morning and dusk circle of Gliese 581g, which is preliminarily determined to be traces of weapon attack."
Through the Hubble telescope, Ruan Lin could also observe the specific battle situation.
"How can it be such a coincidence? Another civilization arrived ahead of us! β
Ruan Lin was already anxious, the Yuanguang civilization had started a war with a certain civilization, they must be at an extreme disadvantage, and the civilization that launched the attack was at least level 2.
"WIT, the whole fleet is accelerating! The fleet implements dispersed flights, weapons are prepared for pre-firing! β
6200km/s, which is the ultimate speed of all ships.
Even at this rate, it would take 9.6 years to reach the Gliese 581 star system, by which time the daylilies would be cold! The Yuanguang civilization has been removed from the universe.
"It's irritating! The short-range jump engine is only equipped on 3 ships, and even if it comes to an emergency standstill here, turning the engine to a planetary-class cruiser is not guaranteed to be one for ten! β
Ruan Lin held his forehead with one hand and rubbed his head, the impatience in his heart had made him temporarily lose his rationality.
"There's no way, 9.6 years! If only the speed of our ships could exceed the speed of light, we can only watch the Yuanguang civilization be slaughtered unilaterally! β
"It's so desperate to just look and do nothing. We can't rely on radio telescopes to send messages yet, and their specific civilization level and technology have not yet been discovered! Maybe they're a level 3 civilization that relies on weapon technology to advance through the ranks. β
At a distance of 0.2 light-years, this unknown civilization had already observed the presence of Ruan Lin, and they were now moving their ships to form a formation in the area close to the comet's ring, which was their first line of defense.
Ruan Lin also observed the actions of this civilization not long after.
"It's too naΓ―ve to try to use the comet rings to block the path of most ships, which can indeed cause some losses for a civilization composed of intelligent beings."
Although the number of ships of this civilization was only about 2,000, Ruan Lin did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and he did not see the flagship of this civilization.
The Earth's civilization fleet is now 50 astronomical units away from the comet ring! The imminent entry into the comet ring region also represents the official arrival of the Gliese 581 star system.
Ruan Lin was confident that if there were small stars on the way, he could directly smash them with just the ship!
Except, of course, super-dense stars.
Just after installing the strong interaction force device, he has already carried out a crash test, and the results show that even ordinary steel, with the blessing of this device, is about 500 times stronger than carboxylene sulfide, not to mention three-dimensional graphene!
At a distance of 4 million kilometers from the enemy fleet, Nguyen Lin also gave instructions to WIT: "Carry out the scattering of the fleet!" The Titan is still in the Tianhe! You don't need to calculate the path of the stars in the comet ring, just crash into it! β
From a distance, the ships of Earth's civilization are extremely black that even the color palette cannot bring up, and they blend in with the darkness of the surrounding environment.
The next moment, they scattered in an instant, and several ships crashed directly into the "dirty snowballs" in their path, but their surfaces were still as smooth as ever, a frighteningly pure black.
At a distance of 1 million kilometers from the enemy fleet, Nguyen Lam gave the first order to prepare for an attack:
"WIT, start calculating the firing path of the kinetic artillery and the resulting recoil, don't miss it. The electric field proton cannon is pre-fired! β
800,000 kilometers away from the enemy fleet, through the Hubble telescope, Ruan Lin saw the appearance of the enemy ship.
The more than 2,000 ships are the same, with a length of about 180 meters and a maximum width of 60 meters, and the overall shape is streamlined, like a fighter jet on the earth, with weapon launches on both sides and at the top.
"Looks like it's just a welcome gift! The main play may be yet to come. β
At a distance of 150,000 kilometers from the enemy, Nguyen Lin shouted: "wit! Kinetic artillery starts firing! β
And at the same moment, inside a ship above Gliese 581g:
"The attack begins."
